I'm definitely going w/ the girlfriend. Will be Ari's pit crew, also. I'll bring my red car so you guys can make fun of the big dent on the driver's side rear quarter and the sunset orange paint.

Looks like I won't be bringing the red car. Transmission is starting to make alot of noise and I'll probably wind up rebuilding it or swapping it out with another. Still coming out however w/ my g/f.

You can come with us. We'll be leaving about 12:15-12:30pm or so but you'll be dependent upon our schedule on what we do and where we go. If you're cool with that, let's do it.

well to make you guys proud tony got 1st place in our class and i got 2nd , tony's best was 12.1 with 2.00 60 foot and 121mph trap. i got best of 12.3 again with 2.10 60ft and 120.80mph trap.
not bad for 2 cars that are running street class.
the trap speed indicates that if we ever get a good launch we should be in the
11s.
the rotors had some pistons for lunch today :-)
